I work at a school and would always dress up every Halloween. It is a fun day for the kids and adults. There were lots of creative and interesting Halloween costumes this year, but my favorite was the purple minion. It was an enjoyable day but tiring so dinner had to be a simple one. I made these maple pork chops that are so easy to make and yet incredibly delicious. It has all the ingredients I really like such as maple syrup, cider vinegar and Dijon mustard. The browned chops with the maple glaze are not only appealing to the eyes but also satisfying to the palate. This chops recipe is definitely a keeper!
